2024 Ski Magazine ranked #5!  

Spicy technical terrain is the draw here, but there’s much to recommend Taos, from its unique New Mexican character to the locals that make this place hum. 

The Snakedance has an indoor hot tub and dry sauna, the Hondo Restaurant, and the Bumps Market convenience store with spirits, groceries, and sundries.

Our spacious and comfortable two-bedroom units are individually decorated around the focal points of a cozy gas fireplace and French doors that open up onto a Juliet Balcony.  Each unit has two full bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops.  Each bedroom has either a King or Split King bed, and a queen pull-out sofa bed in the living room.  WiFi is available in each unit, as are two satellite TVs with DVD players for après ski relaxation.

Single Rooms:  Listed price is for double occupancy.  Add $820 for the single supplement if you want a room (not an entire condo unit) to yourself. 

The Snakedance also has a limited number of one-bedroom condos that may be available at extra cost ($125 per person - while they last).  You may request when signing up, but they are only available for double occupancy.  You must identify your roommate, who must make the same selection.

Ikon Pass Benefits:  If you're planning to ski at more than one "Ikon" resort this winter, an Ikon Pass may be a better value than the available group lift tickets (see below); it may depend when you buy your pass as prices will increase as winter gets closer.

• A Full Ikon Pass gives you 7 days at Taos.
• An Ikon Base Pass has no benefits at Taos.
• An Ikon Base Plus Pass gives you 5 days at Taos.
  

Ikon Passes must be individually purchased (not through the club).  You may purchase Ikon Passes directly from Ikon (including discounted pricing available to military members and their dependents), but we suggest that you visit our Epic & Ikon Pass page to explore the promotional offers that may be available from our tour operators.

If you'll be using an Ikon Pass, we must provide your pass number to the resort so that it counts towards our group lift ticket minimum purchase requirements.  Please enter your Ikon Pass number into your membership profile before registering for the trip, or provide it to the trip leader if you purchase (or renew) your pass subsequent to signing up.

Group Lift Tickets:  Group lift tickets are available as an extra-cost option for skiers without an Ikon Pass:

80+ seniors ski for free.  Ikon Base Plus Pass holders who wish to ski every day may purchase a one-day lift ticket.

Ski-Week Option:  The acclaimed Taos Ski Week program ($330) includes half-day lessons (9:30-noon) every day you ski, whether 5 or 6 days.  Participants will be placed in groups of 3-6 skiers with similar abilities and goals and use the sessions to explore the best runs, work on technique, and learn the history of the world-class mountain.  Also included is an Après Technique talk, and on the last day skiers will visit the legendary Martini Tree.

Air Schedule:    Flights not yet confirmed
         We expect to depart from DCA with a connection into Albuquerque

Membership Requirement:  Your club membership must be current when signing up for the trip and throughout the duration of the trip.  The trip will be "sanctioned" through the Blue Ridge Ski Council.  Current members of other BRSC member ski clubs may register for the trip beginning August 1.

Payment Schedule:  

We’ll confirm your registration after you've signed up (registered) for the trip and we've received your payment:  Pay online by going to our Partial Payments Page where you can make initial deposits &/or interim payments for one or more trips, and for one or more members, in a single transaction.  You may also make partial payments with credit cards at club meetings.  Note:  If you wish instead to pay for the entire trip (or to pay your remaining balance), you should make your payment directly against your trip invoice.  You can find your invoice(s) from your profile page by selecting your name in the upper right corner of the website when you are logged in.

If you prefer to pay by check, make it payable to the Pentagon Ski Club and mail it to our treasurer:  Tom Gallagher, 8203 Lazy Point Lane, Lorton, VA 22079.  Indicate which trip, and what skier(s), it is for.  Or give it to the trip leader (or to Tom) at a club meeting.
